Pain

The world was once a pretty place
And now it's cold and black
I look in the mirror hoping to see me
Instead there is a stranger looking back
I'm lost, alone, a shell of what once existed
Hallowed out by the termites of my life
Eaten alive, I don't know how I'll survive
A piece of wood that's lost adrift
At the sea of my failed life

you can not have lived half your life yet how can you say its failed . You are a great writer dont let life get you down .

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
